Media Reviews
“Francis does a great job of recreating some of the iconic images from the film, the key deaths, the screeching horrors ... If you are a horror fan looking for a quick and nasty read, it has good characterisation and some old school nasty horror to it.” —SF Book
“For those who loved The Descent film but want to know a bit more about the emotions of the characters and a tiny bit of backstory on the cave system, the novelization is a fun read for the Halloween season.” —Fangirl Nation
“Christian Francis' tale of subterranean terror brings something new even for diehard fans of Neil Marshall's classic.” —Fangoria
